A stroke of the pen, 2023: CIP title page (Terry Pratchett) galley (Rob Wilkins, Terry's representative on Earth, called me and told be that a trove of Terry Pratchett stories had been unearthed by brilliant and dogged detectorists hunting through newspaper archives; The young Terry Pratched who wrote them yould have been proud of them, that's for certain. He's working hard on them; The Terry who wrote these stories is a journalist who thinks that he is, in his soul, a science fiction writer; It's one of the hardest parts of being a writer, the growing up in public bit. Terry needed to be published. He didn't have the time to spend polishing his skills in private. Patrick Kearns allowed him to write fiction, to hone his craft, to discover, I suspect, what kind of thing he enjoyed writing)
